Learning outcomes
The course shall present: a) methods to plan maintenance, with an
emphasis on condition-based maintenance, b) techniques for bulk and
local degradation of insulation systems diagnosis, c) the use of
fuzzy in the diagnosis of electrical insulation systems, d) failure
mode and condition assessment for high and medium voltage cables,
motors, generators, high voltage transformers.
Course contents
1. Maintenance guidelines, 2. Physics of partial discharge
phenomena and associated degradation processes, 3. Diagnostics:
general methods, use of partial discharge detection and analysis
(in AC and DC), fuzzy logic. 4. Methods to asses the condition of
high and medium voltage cables, rotating machines, high voltage
transformers
Readings/Bibliography
Slides and notes provided by the teacher
Teaching methods
Teaching will be carried out in the classroom as well as in the
lab, through practical experiences
Assessment methods
Oral exam
Teaching tools
Part of the course will be carried out in the lab. This will
involve the use of high voltage test cells, partial discharge
detectors as well as systems for polarization/depolarization
current measurements.
